Q:
How many prisoners escape from jail every year?
GOOGLED THAT SHIZ. TWIZE.
A: In 1998, 6530 people escaped. That seems like a lot, but this is less than 1 percent of the total number of prisoners. But this information is a decade old. An interesting fact from another site: "In FY 2003-04, there were 109 completed escapes, 102 or 93.6% were recaptured as of July 1, 2004. Of the 102 who were recaptured, 58 or 56.9% were recaptured within 24 hours of their escape." from Florida.

I was talking with Chris...
Q:
Why do we shiver after we pee?
WIKIED THAT SHIZ. GOOGLED THAT SHIZ.
A: 3 theories. 1-our autonomic nervous system (ANS). 2- we lose heat when our warm pee exits, so we shiver to compensate. 3-no medical proof.
